    Dunno if some flimsy carbon adapter is burly enough for the FKS backcountry skier.

    You're even more limited with boot choices.
    "A-Senders are not compatible with any of the Dual WTR series bindings from Rossignol and Look due to geometric constraints."

    Seems like a great idea from 15 years ago.

    I didnt even read that far...lost interest at "dynafit style toe"....like WHY?

    Plus it seemed limited to FKS bindings? Did i read that correctly?

    Im all for locals and indies making products, but man...make something you'll sell more than to just your buddies.

    I guess good luck anyway??!!!!!....

    Meh. If it were half as much, I'd consider it. All my skis are FKS anyway. But $300 - $350 is just more than it's worth to me.

    Especially when in a year or three we will have tech bindings that are 90-95% as capable as single pivot style bindings (P18/STH)

    Do you have inside knowledge about something in development, or just extrapolating from recent progress in tech bindings?
